Meghan Markle shared a cryptic quote about confidence on her Instagram Stories over the weekend, six years after she and husband Prince Harry made the shocking decision to leave the royal family.
The Duchess of Sussex, 44, posted a message online about being a Leo and how the date April 25 is significant for the zodiac sign.

The Duchess of Sussex felt 'bullied and attacked' over the last decade.
Meghan, who was born on August 4, posted: "Your confidence took hits it has no business taking. You questioned your creative direction, your spotlight, your worth: April 25th, the pressure lifts. You get the space to exist without fighting for it."
She then added an Instagram reel featuring two men dancing to Celine Dion’s song "That’s the Way It Is."
Meghan Markle's Post Pointed to Ending a Strenuous '7-Year-Cycle'

Meghan Markle and Prince Harry left the royal family in January 2020.
The caption read: “Taurus, Leo, Scorpio, and Aquarius ending the hardest seven years of their lives on April 25th.”
According to astrology, the spring date is important because it's when the planet Uranus leaves Taurus and moves into Gemini.
"This is the end of a seven-year-cycle of radical change for these signs. You will finally settle into the version of who you became through all this change," Meghan's reel noted. "It’s been unsettling and I’m sure that what you valued in 2019 is not what you value now. Or at least it looks a lot different."
